No thanks. Compiling the Linux kernel is too painful. > Check your tool-chain. Many people compile recent kernels with no problems.

I have tried compiling newer ones, but it's too much work to get all the options right. And then there's the problem that the "good" driver for my SATA disk may not be there anymore in the latest kernels, and so on. -- Tuomo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
